When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1150 - 1154: Sacrificing the Self (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Hearing Zhao Danyan's words, Chen Cang suddenly understood!

So that's how it is!

Personality exchange disorder?

It was neither a mental illness nor schizophrenia.

It must be said that the nervous system is indeed a mysterious and complicated system; any slight damage can cause a series of strange and complex diseases.

Yang Jie was also bewildered by this story.

So there really is such a thing.

The nanny was dumbfounded; she didn't expect Mi Di to do such a thing.

Mi Di's character and personality were both very good, and she treated her with great respect, even seeing her as part of the family.

Unexpectedly, she had developed such a disease!

At this moment, to verify the patient's condition, Zhao Danyan took a flashlight and pried Mi Di's eyes open for a careful inspection!

She frowned deeply: "The situation looks rather pessimistic; even the rare occurrence of optic disc edema has surfaced. The patient's blockage must have already triggered intracranial hypertension!"

Having said this, Zhao Danyan quickly asked, "Professor Chen, can you perform a lumbar puncture?"

Zhao Danyan was not doubting Chen Cang; it's just that lumbar puncture is not commonly used in other departments.

Chen Cang nodded: "I can do it!"

Zhao Danyan hurriedly responded: "Good! Let's measure the intracranial pressure; I'll help you."

After speaking, Zhao Danyan removed the monitoring devices from the patient.

She then instructed Yang Jie, "Come, help me position the patient!"

Having said that, Zhao Danyan, with great effort, positioned the patient in the lateral decubitus position, fully exposing her back.

However, at this moment, Mi Di groggily woke up.

Zhao Danyan's face brightened with relief; thankfully she was awake, otherwise she might move during the lumbar puncture, which could cause real problems!

After all, it's the spine; any damage could be quite troublesome.

But!

After Mi Di opened her eyes, upon seeing Chen Cang, her first reaction was: "Husband... why would you do this..."

"I love you so much, why would you abandon me!"

Having said that, she tried to get up and embrace Chen Cang.

Chen Cang was taken aback.

He quickly extended his hands to hold down Mi Di, stopping her from lunging at him.

At this moment, Zhao Danyan truly believed that Mi Di was not actually attempting to harm Xu Ziming yesterday!

Looking at this pitiful girl, who was pretty and had a great figure, Zhao Danyan suddenly felt Xu Ziming was really lucky yesterday.

He must have accrued good fortune over a very long time.

However, after Chen Cang pushed her away, he immediately hesitated!

Because compared to the patient's condition at the moment, it was clear that immediate treatment was necessary; there was no time to delay...

But...

At this time, Chen Cang suddenly had a brainstorm and thought of a method.

The patient was currently mistaking him for her lover...

Why not go along with it?

After all, the patient's condition was not stable; one must ensure nothing goes awry during the lumbar puncture.

Thinking this, Chen Cang could not care about anything else; acknowledging the mistake was secondary to treating the illness.

If the patient dies before reaching the hospital, there would be nothing left to say!

Chen Cang gritted his teeth, and in his heart, he apologized to Qin Yue three times: "Wife, I was wrong!"

Then, looking into Mi Di's eyes, he supported her shoulders with his hands and tenderly asked, "Silly girl, do you still have a headache?"

With one sentence, he left everyone in the vehicle dumbfounded!

Had it not been for understanding the unfolding events, Chen Cang's actions would have truly startled them.

A nanny whispered to herself: "Miss Mi Di's boyfriend definitely isn't as handsome as the doctor!"

However, that clearly doesn't matter!

Looking at Chen Cang's affectionate gaze, Yang Jie almost believed that Chen Cang was that man!

This was too much like a scumbag.

Zhao Danyan's eyes lit up, she naturally saw what Chen Cang was about to do and couldn't help feeling joyful inside, thinking this kid really had spirit.

Being a doctor isn't just about having superb medical skills, but also having strong emergency response abilities.

What needs to be done now is a countermeasure, to save the patient's life first and foremost.

Mi Di was also dumbfounded by Chen Cang's sudden expression!

Mi Di suddenly burst into tears: "It hurts, it's really painful, and I feel nauseous..."

As she spoke, she threw herself into Chen Cang's arms, without noticing or caring about the lack of coverage on her upper body.

Chen Cang was startled by this and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, you're sick now and need treatment."

Mi Di shook her head: "I just want to be with you... please don't leave me... I didn't go to the hospital to find you, but because... I really feel terrible, I didn't want to trouble you..."

Chen Cang nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but now you must lie still, we need to do a puncture..."

Mi Di's face turned red suddenly: "There are so many people here."

Chen Cang was instantly taken aback!

What's the difference with having many people around?

"Do you know why you have a headache? We need a doctor to do a lumbar puncture on your back, to perform some tests. You must lie down and not move, or I'll get angry and I'll leave!"

While speaking, Chen Cang gave Zhao Danyan a look.

In this situation, Chen Cang himself couldn't carry out the puncture!

Chen Cang helped Mi Di get into the right position, fully exposing her back.

Lumbar puncture is conducted on the spine and serves both as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.

And now, the hope is to measure the cerebrospinal fluid pressure through lumbar puncture.

To check whether the patient has intracranial hypertension, which will determine the next steps in the patient's treatment.

Zhao Danyan had the driver, Old He, stop the car.

She then signaled Chen Cang with a glance that he could start his performance.

Chen Cang had no choice!

Holding Mi Di's hands with both of his, he said: "Hang in there, it'll be over soon."

Lumbar puncture isn't very painful, and anesthetic would be administered.

The point of lumbar puncture lies between a line drawn across the top edges of the iliac crests and the midline at the level of the L4 spinous process.

That is, between the lumbar three and lumbar four vertebrae.

After administering the anesthesia, Zhao Danyan quickly started preparing for the puncture.

It has to be said, Zhao Danyan is experienced and skilled.

The puncture went smoothly, and Mi Di, with Chen Cang present, also showed great fortitude.

But Chen Cang felt a lot of pressure!

However... fortunately, Qin Yue did not follow him on the trip, otherwise... Chen Cang guessed that even so, Qin Yue probably wouldn't be jealous, right?

After all, this is a matter of life and death, not the time to worry about personal gains and losses, although Mi Di is attractive, it's useless!

Once the pressure-measuring catheter was connected, the water column inside the catheter immediately began to soar!

Zhao Danyan's face changed as soon as she saw it!

"400mmH2O!"

That's 400 millimeters of water column.

The normal range for adults is between 70 and 200, but now the patient's pressure had skyrocketed to 400.

What is intracranial pressure?

Intracranial pressure refers to the pressure of the cranial contents, including brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood against the walls of the cranial cavity!

When intracranial pressure increases, due to the increased pressure, it can lead to reduced cerebral blood flow, causing cerebral ischemia, or even cerebral death, and may cause a variety of complex diseases such as brain herniation!

Therefore, the stability of intracranial pressure is very important to the human body.

And now, the patient's intracranial pressure of 400, combined with today's head MRI images, indicates a very dangerous situation!
